Asalaamu 'aleikum to all my fellow sisters. I have a question for you all which I would appreciate some answers regarding.
I have moved house since creating this account, and as a result, I've found myself in a town with no mosque (I am currently traveling to Newcastle, to my old mosque) and no Islamic shops. I've got what I need in terms of Islamic books, tapes and the like, but the one thing I'm struggling with is clothes.
The Islamic shops I used to go to were excellent for suitably Islamic clothes but were very expensive and so they weren't really an option other than for the one abaya I own for mosque visits.
And shopping on the high street or in 'normal' shops, which I never really liked doing in the first place, seems now to be pretty much out of bounds to me unless I get lucky and find a long skirt or tunic top with long sleeves.
So how do my fellow Muslimahs do? Anyone got any suggestions as to how I can dress modestly in a situation like this? I can't even order via the internet as I don't have a shariah debit card (not yet anyway).
Also, I don't know if this is the right place to put this thread. Apologies in advance if this is the case.
